Merry Christmas, all! I received a tarot deck, a cat calendar, lip balms, a tortoise visit at the zoo, soft pants, an owlbean plush, eyeliner, a Breath of the Wild shield backpack, gloves and scarf, assorted foods, and a pile of money. Woo!

River sent me a Star Wars-themed thumb war book. You stick your thumbs up through it, you and your opponent, and then you attach plastic lightsabres to your thumbs and have at it.

My one cousin and I reenacted the fight from Episode Three. I won by singing 'Duel of the Fates' at him really loud--------------victory is inevitable once the foe is laughing so hard he can't breathe. (Score one for me and the Dark Side.)
